Mayor Corey Calaycay moving forward with bid for state assembly

While nothing is official until the March 15 deadline, you can expect Mayor Corey Calaycay to be running for a seat in the California state assembly. Calaycay has already filed some paper work, opened accounts and formed a team of advisers in anticipation of running for the seat.

Earlier this month, current State Assemblyman Anthony Adams announced that he will not seek a third term in office.

For over 12 years, Calaycay has served in various positions working for elected officials in the state government. Most recently, he worked in former State Senator Bob Margett's Glendora office until he left the senate in November 2008.

Calaycay is already planning some kickoff events/press conferences throughout the 59th Assembly Distric to officially announce his run around March 15.
